We take the house as it stands
You do not have to clean up, make repairs, or haul fire debris to sell the house to us. You can ask about a sale while the damage is still there, instead of taking on a restoration project first.
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. Tell us what was damaged, what access is allowed, and what work—if any—has already happened.
You keep your insurance proceeds
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. The statement is about the sale to USA Home Buyers; it does not decide how your insurer or mortgage servicer applies your claim. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Before rebuilding or listing, compare the likely repair and cleanup budget, contractor work, permits, utilities, insurance, mortgage payments, and the time the project may take with the written terms for an as-is sale. A sale price is not the same as what you keep after costs, so compare expected net proceeds rather than only the headline number.
The Fremont calculator lets you adjust the comparison assumptions. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
